Kirchzarten

When it comes to getting the most out of your time here, it's good to keep in mind that Kirchzarten is just just the start; Black Forest is home to a treasure-trove of scenic delights. Hoechenschwand, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the northwest, and Loeffingen, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the west of Kirchzarten are good places to visit if you're keen on learning more about this region.

While you are in Kirchzarten, visit Freiburg. Approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) away, this regional city is where you can find New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus), Freiburg Theater and Schwabentor Gate. Black Forest (Schwarzwald), Martinstor Gate and Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) are also good places to spend some time.

Enjoy a moment of quiet contemplation at Black Forest 's cathedrals. Go to Black Forest 's art museums, theaters and art galleries. These are excellent spots to hang out, particularly when the weather is less than perfect.

For those who feel it's important to pick up knowledge as well as souvenirs on their travels, this region features a range of specialist activities, such as guided nature walks, city walking tours and winery tours. If you are after a break from sightseeing, why not indulge in a local watersport? Boating and swimming are both well-established in the area.

As your adventures here draw to a close, spend what's left of your euros on last-minute keepsakes and bid a fond Tschüss (farewell) to the interesting people you've met and the places you've come to love.
